Peter, this is so cool, i know you would like it.
Drifter... From the HD newsgroup. (something I found while surfing around) The only good view of a thunderstorm is in your rear view mirror. People ask us why we ride a motorcycle. For those who have experienced the joy, no explanation is necessary; for those who have not, no explanation is possible. Four wheels move the body; two wheels move the soul. Most motorcycle problems are caused by the nut that connects the handlebars to the saddle. Life may begin at 40, but it doesn't get real interesting until about 80 mph! You start the game of life with a full pot o' luck and an empty pot o' experience. The object is to fill the pot of experience before you empty the pot of luck. If you wait, all that happens is that you get older. Midnight bugs taste just as bad as noon time bugs. Saddlebags can never hold everything you want, but they CAN hold everything you need. Don't ride so late into the night that you sleep through the sunrise. Sometimes it takes a whole tank full of gas before you can think straight. Never hesitate to ride past the last street light at the edge of town. Never do less than forty miles before breakfast. A bike on the road is worth two in the shed. Respect the person who has seen the dark side of motorcycling and lived, and still rides. Young riders pick a destination and go. Old riders pick a direction and go. A good mechanic will let you watch without charging you for it. Sometimes the fastest way to get there is to stop for the night. Always back your bike into the curb and sit where you can see it. There are drunk riders and there are old riders, but there are not many old, drunk riders. Ride to work. Work to ride. Two-lane blacktop isn't a highway - it's an attitude. When you look down the road, it seems to never end; but you better believe it does! Winter is nature's way of telling you to test the electrics. Keep your bike in good repair. Motorcycle boots are not all that comfortable for walking. People are like motorcycles; each is customized a bit differently. Sometimes, the best communication happens when you're on separate bikes. When you're riding lead, don't spit. A friend is someone who'll get out of bed at 2 a.m.. to drive his pickup to the middle of nowhere to get you when you're broken down. Catching a yellow jacket in your shirt @ 70 mph can double your vocabulary. Catching a yellow jacket in your helmet will triple that special vocabulary. There's something ugly about a NEW bike on a trailer. Everyone crashes. Some get back on. Some don't. Some can't. If you can't get it going with bungee cords and duct tape, it's serious. If you ride like there's no tomorrow, today will be a BLAST! The best modifications cannot be seen from the outside.. Always replace the cheapest parts first. You can forget what you do for a living when your knees are in the breeze. Only a Biker knows why a dog sticks his head out of a car window. Keep the painted side up, and the rubber side down! |

I sold my 1996 Triumph Daytona 1200 a few years ago, soon after my Ducati 900 Super Sport. My wrists couldn't take the load imposed by the clip on bars anymore. The Norton Atlases were sold to buy a house in '86. I've owned three 45s, a 62 Panhead, a '78 shovel and a fairly hot Evo that followed a new 1988 1200 Sporty. The vibration on the 1200 was obscene. You literally couldn't cruise at 65 to 75 MPH without loosening your fillings.. Your shameful and rather immature attitude towards Japanese motorcycles is the exact reason why South Park made the show about Harley riders. The Japs put millions of people on Motorcycles who might otherwise not have had the inclination. The worst Japanese bikes I've owned were a pair of Kawasaki 500 triples. They were called the world's first disposable motorcycle. You had to put new rings in every 12,000 miles and the fuel mileage was obscenely BAD. My best Japanese bike was a 1975 water cooled Suzuki 750. It used less oil than a four stroke and was still running two years ago. It probably still is, I haven't talked to the owner since my move. mike |

Other than my 1976 made in Germany Hercules I now have, I have owned a
few other mopeds and motor scooters before.Three Cushmans, a made in Italy Harley Davidson motorcycle, a Honda moped, a Vespa moped, and a Solex moped I bought when I was in Vietnam. http://www.tsna.org I haven't ridden on a two wheeler since around 1987.I have gotten too wibbly wobbly nowadays to ride two wheelers anymore.I would probally fall off and break my neck! cuhulin |

At the end of World War Two in Japan, Sochiro Honda was looking for
something to do.He started rounding up some little utility gas engines and mounting them onto bicycles.That is how Honda two wheelers, mopeds and motorcycles, and later, on cars, got started. The Official end of World War Two, as far as U.S.fed govt is concerned, wasen't untill 1951. cuhulin |

BTW, i had a Commando-S for way too many years. the dam thing tried many times to kill me. I still got a 65 Bonnie sitting in the garage, one of these days i'll fix those carbs and bring her back to life. and no, it's not for sale. at my age, i should be riding a 3 wheeler anyhow. every time i stop for a stop sign, i remember being 16, and having a 44 tank shifter falling over on me. took 2 buddies to lift her off me. i still have the pipe burn/ scar on my right leg. the bike was an old cop-cycle, with reverse, and that giant off sprung seat. can't remember the weight, but i believe it was over a 1,000lbs. at the time i was a skinny kid at maybe 120lbs. so, no contest. guess i never did learn.

I've been through the archives in Milwaukee, and I spend a lot of time at motocycling museums, inspecting documents. Check with the AMA Motorcycle Hall of Fame, and the Mungenast Museum in St Louis. |

Too bad those Norton engineers couldn't fix the ROOT CAUSE of the vibration rather than using the band-aid of rubber mountings. (And you could always tell where a Norton had been -- just follow the trail of parts that vibrated off). Other than that, Nortons were very nice bikes. Finally, just admit that the Japanese know how to make a great bike. My early 70s Honda CB-750 four cylinder was as smooth as an electric motor compared to my mid-70s BMW 750, much less to a Harley of the same era that would shake your teeth out. Your mileage may vary. |
